Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb are still together. And they were at Sundance. And that matters to the five of us who care about them, who would for sure rank them top 5 in a cool couple list…even though they are way too cool to be on a cool couple list.

It’s Shailene Woodley’s big moment. Friday. Divergent. Are you going? Will Shailene Woodley follow Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lawrence? Or will she be more like Lily Collins? The film is not getting great reviews. Just 31% right now on Rotten TomatoesFull Story

I don’t know if they are. I just read the caption on these photos “Shailene Woodley and reported boyfriend Theo James at LAX". It’s the natural, expected narrative, I suppose. And I guess they’re hoping that it might turn into the whole Kristen Stewart/Robert Pattinson Twi-Hard thing all over again? But why does it have to? Jennifer Lawrence isn’t dating Josh Hutcherson and doesn’t have to. Full Story

We’re about 6 weeks out from the release of Divergent and I feel like there’s been very little buzz. So now a final trailer has been released and the stars are making themselves available. Shailene Woodley and Theo James were out in Hollywood yesterday and also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel. Full Story

There's a new Divergent featurette.
I mean, watch it, by all means – but it’s the same damn thing as we’ve seen before.
Tris is Divergent! Lots of cutting between industrial street scenes and fight scenes! You really don’t know what’s going on, what a “faction” is, or why you should care, but it’s okay because the lighting seems ominous so maybe that’s enough reason to be worried. Full Story

Dauntless at Comic-Con.
It was a big day for Divergent at Comic-Con to kick off this year’s Dork Storm, as Sarah calls it. Look how many outfits Shailene Woodley had to wear. Woodley of course is the new would-be Kristen Stewart/Jennifer Lawrence, headlining the film adaptation of Veronica Roth’s book series. Full Story

A hypocrite, I mean. I really don’t want to be. But I can feel it closing in. Is it nobler to admit it, or to feign that it’s not happening? The truth is always the way, right?
Here’s what I’m saying: after whining about how people have to learn to interpret fiction onscreen differently than the fiction in their heads, I need to point out that this Entertainment Weekly coverFull Story

The first image of Theo James as Four in Divergent was released the other day. As you know, Veronica Roth’s series about Tris Prior has been my jam for a couple of years now, ever since I ripped through a copy of it while sunburning my ass in Barbados in 2011. Click hereFull Story

Remember when some silly random rumour went around about Alex Pettyfer confirming the coveted part of Four in Divergent? It will not be Alex Pettyfer.
It will be Theo James.
You may know him as Mr Pamuk from Season 1 of Downton Abbey whose body they had to drag down the hall. Or if you watch Golden Boy on CBS. Full Story
